#raises

When do we find out what our raises will be-2026?

Anyone have any insight on this happening?

Is it just me, or are bonuses and raises well below market?

Even though you're doing more work, more hours, more roles and the load of three others, you don't deserve a raise because Vz is so much more efficient and has better tools than ever before?

He actually said that with a straight face.

Are they coming? Raises sure aren't.

Has anyone had success asking for a larger salary or extra bonus outside of the annual performance review? Since it's this company I'm guessing no but I figured I would ask.

Did you all get 100% raises to pay for all the gas for your wonderful commuting into the office now to stare at your laptop all day?????

So, I have confirmed it with multiple colleagues. Apparently in the last few weeks some of them indeed received salary raises, surprisingly nice ones. If you still haven't received, that means you have been skipped. What is weird - these raises do not follow any pattern, some best performers were skipped, some people who do not have "friends" in management granted, tenure also didn't matter. Seems almost random. I have no clue what this company is doing and it seems they also don't know it...

Does everyone get a raise?

Just got a 5% raise, 4th one since covid. Don't let the doomers get ya down. If you adapt to the new way of doing things, Cisco is still a great place to work.

Was told there was some activity yesterday on this not sure how many folks received it, nothing for me as usual its just pathetic and depressing. Just want to know how many got it here

Bonus and pay increases are in! What’s the general consensus?

No equity refresh this year for me. Base increased measley 2%. CIP 9%.

I'm furious right now. A damn pay cut for more work due to lost colleagues. I miss them so much...Trying to get out of this shithole mass applying

I guess it was just us losers that were capped at 2% for year end raises.

FIS and WP promotions took place in July (first pay period) and that's when raises go into effect. Is GP traditionally a different time in the year? And does anyone know if we will move to July for the whole company, or whenever GP usually does it?

My manager apologized to me for the poor bonus and raise and he indicated my compensation has nothing to do to do with my performance last year, which was outstanding. He said this is what he was given, would habe loved to give everyone that deserved it more, but his hands were tied.

Now GK and EL to us to talk to our manager??? Why do they want to throw the managers under the bus when they have no control over compensation that has a cap.

No raises this year
Only pizza

Curious what the ceiling really is here, because mine didn’t exactly change my life.

Were we supposed to see our raises already for salary in America? Got a 3 for a ranking, thought we would at least see a cost of living raise effective April 1st

Especially with gas prices climbing. And since raises don't keep up with actual inflation, the rumored 5-day RTO would fit perfectly with their plan to push out as many of us as they can.

They used to always be mid March. Then two years ago it was mid April.

Is the delay a sign of something? Has anyone else gotten theirs?

For 2025, CEO Dr. Udit Batra received $14 million in total compensation, a 25% increase from the prior year. Last year was 11.14 million, which was 125x the median Waters employee salary.

Are we getting raises this year?

Salary treatment will continue to be targeting low to no raises. Ask your supervisor where you are within your band. Most people will receive nothing to very little as salary bands are dropping and there is downward pressure on the CL promotions and CL level assigned to roles.

No wonder things are falling apart at the seams.

Spent a year building something I was proud of. Brought someone in to collaborate, shared everything openly… only to watch it get slightly tweaked and presented as their idea to the team.

This isn’t the first time. Just the latest reminder that being generous with your work doesn’t always come back the same way.

So I’m done sharing like that.
Done handing over things I’ve poured time and energy into just to watch them get repackaged and claimed. I chose to stay here and finish my project and now I regret it.

All this plus Not to mention Ive gone years being promised a promotion and the raises get smaller and smaller each year. Im dont being the lowest paid but highest achieving on my team. Im moving different now.

What's the highest increase you got, outside of a promotion?

And I don't want to hear the "times are tough" excuse. We're not family. So can we stop pretending we are? I don't recall seeing any benefits when times were good.

With the layoffs, outsourcing jobs, AI taking over - I wanted to see if anyone else wants to be transparent about salary and role.

High band 3 in management track - just received 2.75% increase at 81k. 4 years with Evernorth.

Goal for me is to see what others are making and if I’m being paid fairly.

When Brian got on stage, I heard someone say ‘what kind of BS today?’

It’s a good way to not have to say anything or face an audience unhappy with their raise when you hand out $9k in cash randomly. Is this normal?

Is belk giving a 2% raise this year ?

If so when?

Milk Dell for money every way you can if they aren't gonna share the wealth of their supposedly "great" 2025 year in which they earned a record breaking 120+ BILLION dollars. Only to turn around and give minimal raises, no promotions and a pathetic bonus modifier... 126% is pathetic. I did the math and it SHOULD have been around 140% modifier.

A) We have a $500/year fitness reimbursement program. - This program does not include shoes or athletic clothing anymore so, I went and got myself an expensive weight set that I don't need. Submitted the receipt, got reimbursed, and went and used that money for some nice new athletic shoes instead and still have another $300 to spend!!

Training - go hog wild. Find some courses that you'd never pay for and have them pay for it. At the very least you can say you took the course and gained knowledge - resume builder as well! Dell doesn't check or care if you ACTUALLY get the certification btw. But if you actually go through the course(s) it's just more knowledge you have for other roles - inside Dell or externally. Go get those SANS courses!! 10k a pop!

There is a budget on insperity points as well (which we are taxed on btw) so, what exactly is there to work for if raises are minimal, bonus's are half cocked, and promotions are MIA if you live in the USA?

I would quit but I actually love my job and what I do. I get paid good money for working like 25 hours/week and enjoy everyone I work with so, I also hate that RTO is 5 days/week but I choose when I go in and how long I stay so...

2%?! WThey are pushing people to leave. We essentially just took a pay cut with inflation.

2 years since the last review anyone actually got the raise that Jenny Ragged-one sent the email saying its getting paid this month?

Or was the email more fake news?

Most glowing review yet, but smallest increase I’ve ever had in my 15 years here. Is this a reflection of the budget overall or is this a personal issue?

The scam continues with a 2026 pay raise less than inflation. Inflation caused by Aramco’s buddies to the north. In the last 10 years that leaves only 1, 2024, where Ali and the scammers beat inflation with a decent pay raise. Do yourself a favor if you’re still there and figure how much your salary has decreased when factoring inflation. And for anyone considering moving to the Toxic environment, offered both indoors and outdoors (worst air quality in the world), think about an avg 1-3% annual raise before stepping on the plane to the land of empty quarters…and empty promises.
